 		Yuh-oh.
Maybe we can tap the 8/13/42 players for help. They have a drop in Austin too. Supposedly redct is in Austin, but I haven't seen him around lately.

...anyone else?

Been lurking around since someone told me about this one...

Hell, Vapor's playing both if i'm not mistaken, as long as the drops aren't at the same time he could kill 2 birds with one stone.

Also, I'm quite impressed with those Air Force documents dealing with Rachel, NV... They look very authentic, and that's all I'm saying...

 		Man, I just checked flight prices out of morbid curiosity and I can confirm there's no way I can make it to the drop Wink Apparently airlines insist on charging more than 20 bucks for flights from Philly to Austin

 		I am playing both but the drops are happening on different weekends.

My plans for this weekend kind of went to sh*t. The problem is that I don't live in Austin. I live in Dallas and Austin is about 4 hours away. The drop is also on a Sunday...bleh.

Bang Head

Sooo...I have tentative plans to go next weekend for the 13lights drop but that doesn't help us much for this drop. I am super tempted to just drive the 4 hours, pick up the drop and then drive 4 hours back. If someone else is available that would be great, though. I'll keep checking in to see if anyone else can make it. I know there has to be some Austin ARGers out there.

 		So I emailed Mikey with this latest message from Amun and asked how he would like to respond. I recommended to him that we send the myspacerefuge link to Amun in our next post. I thought maybe we could steg a shortcut but apparently you can't steg internet shortcuts with camouflage.

I also sent a different email to "mikey" using novakSPLATsurryinvestigations.com just to see. It came back undeliverable pretty much right away in case anyone else had that idea.

What does everyone think of this picture for our next? It's San Jacinto Monument and the Reflecting Pool located along the Houston Ship Channel with the Battlehip Texas in the background.

 		Yes, I know. Double-post....

Seems Mikey got busy with the email today. Here is the one I got.

Mikey wrote:
Joe,

You're awesome. I was looking at that picture and trying to figure out what that castle was. I'm glad you're much more attuned to the world than I am. How do you do it? The documents seem about right with what I was thinking, the one thing that throws me off here is the cat. I'm thinking the awlyn are some sort of subculture of people, I guess like gypsies or something. You're so good with those pictures, maybe you've got an idea about them?

I do want to send him a message, linking him to the myspacerefuge directory of that website for the girls. He may have some more information about this novahelix37 guy that can help me. I'm going to try to get Novak to help me dig up some information, try to get in touch with the parents of the girls - see if they have their computers still. I'll need the message to Amun to point out that I'm going to try to contact the girl's parents, and to find out if he's got any more information regarding novahelix37.

Thanks for your support and keep surfing safe,
Mikey Surry


So we need to encrypt another message somehow linking the myspacerefuge site, tell Amun that Mikey is trying to contact the girl's parents and ask for more information about Novahelix. Simple, right?

Anybody send out the e-mail yet? I can do it, saying I'm related to someone else he's already corresponded with, if no one else feels like it.
Funny though, I can't steg/desteg anything on my mac... Sad
